Maggies are bipolar speakers. This means they launch a rear sound wave that is equal to the front one, but without much dispersion to the sides at higher frequencies. As such, they interact with rooms much differently than more conventional box speakers or true omnidirectional speakers such as Ohms.

It will be very important that you audition these speakers in your own listening room. You should also be prepared to play with positioning. You don't have to move them very far to potentially change the sound dramatically.

When it all works, they sound extremely good IMO. When they don't, you'll probably be better off trying a different speaker.

I've read that as well. Also, I appreciate your insight about room dynamics; thanks! Also, I've read that they should be 3-4 feet away from the front wall. I don't know if that would work in my room. So, I'll need to think about it and play some. But, the technology sounds so cool, that I'd love to play with them some!
